When you talk about consistency and excellence in Spanish winemaking, one name stands out to me above all. The Torres Family has been a staple in the region for centuries and their holdings are insane. But their relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to quality is why they’re consistently Drink International’s ‘most admired wine brand in Europe.’
They also make some of my favorites values, from the Secret del Priorat to the Celeste ‘Sur Lies’ Verdejo to today’s ‘Pazo de Bruxas’ Albarino. These wines represent some of our most requested wines, which is pretty considerable when you take into account that they’re all Tuesday nighters.
The Pazo de Bruxas is a particular Spring classic. It comes from the red-hot coastal region of Rias Baixas that is responsible for most of your favorite Albarinos. These wines aren’t light, fruity numbers; they’re more crisp and minerally, with a creamy middle and a lot of depth for a white wine.

Simply stunning. An incredible effort in arguably the greatest Sancerre vintage since 1947, Dominique’s single vineyard ‘Les Deserts’ is considered the Grand Cru vineyard of Bue. It’s a dead ringer for Premier Cru Chablis; it’s that complex. How when it’s Sauvignon Blanc? Well, the vines of Les Deserts are rooted in Kimmeridgian rock, the same soil you find in the best vineyards of Chablis. It’s full-bodied with a chalky minerality and a beautiful, vibrant intensity. This will forever change the way you view Sancerre. It really is that good.
The Lauverjat Pouilly Fume 2021 was born just across the Loire River from Sancerre, where the soil is rich with river deposits, Portlandian limestone, and Kimmerdigian limestone. It really is the triple threat of soil, and this flint influence gives the wine incredible depth and beauty. It was entered in the Gilbert & Gaillard International Wine Tasting, where it won the gold medal and was called “a multi-award winning Pouilly-Fume made from old-vines” in a review that ended with a simple declaration: “As good as it gets.”
Even though we’re ahead of the scores, I have no doubt that what I secured for us today will join the long list of high-scoring whites for Groth – this really has it all. Made in 100% neutral oak, the aromatics completely shine here as soon as you open the bottle. Fresh lemon, citrus peel and nectarine on the nose with bright acidity, impeccable balance and a lingering aftertaste that makes you want to come back to the glass.
We are super lucky to get a small shot at this one which is usually nearly an exclusive for the AltaMarea group. The newly released 2022 Sancerre “Le Mont” from Maison Foucher Lebrun is zipped up and juicy yet offers up complex aromas of gooseberry, citrus, fresh-cut grass, with a tropical zest. On the palate, the wine is very clean and crisp, full-bodied and laser focused, with a good core and a long, tasty finish that offers a dash of minerality and salinity.
